Sevilla in the first decade of the century: urban transformation for a new urban model

Abstract

This paper offers an interpretation of the contemporary urban process of a city, Seville,
from the analysis of what happened in the city in the first decade of the century. The case
of Seville is very significant and useful as case-example of historic city able to make urban
transformations and changes in major urban systems, as public space and mobility, and the tensions and contradictions that often accompany these processes, and also the ability
to find ways to upgrade the functions of the city to the new social, economic and political
challenges that the situation of strong current crisis is placing many cities.
